1:15 - Plantar Fasciitis
3:49 - Bunions
6:15 - Neuropathy
7:59 - Gout
9:32 - Arterial Sclerosis
I saw several podiatrists and physical therapists over about 25 years. They kept saying plantar fasciitis. Spent a lot on them and the orthotics. When the last doc wanted to operate I asked a chiropractor if she could do anything. She looked at my feet closely. Said your ankle is out of place and set it back in place. I was finally pain free. It did take a few months because it would work itself back but the pain wasn't bad like before and eventually it stayed in place. Now I can wear sandals and go barefoot some daily.
Thank you for sharing your story . I have been debating on seeing a chiropractor for the same issue .
That's amazing! Before you had the ankle realigned did you easily twist your ankle when you walk? Just wondering because I do. I never considered that the ankle could be out of alignment. But my wrists were, so maybe the ankles were, too.
@@evelyndaisy9722 it may not help but I just like to share because I would hate to think if I had the surgery. I mean a chiropractor visit is cheaper than surgery. Good luck.
@@anyascelticcreations I don't think I realized it was different. I had just recently been seeing a chiropractor for a neck injury. I thought it interesting that the chiropractor could tell what was up when 3 Doctors an 2 PTs hadn't seen anything. I went thru 3 courses of PT before the doc wanted me to have surgery. I just share because I hope it may help.
@@joycej9415 I understand. I've also had things overlooked. I saw chiropractors, and many other drs, for 18 years before one chiropractor knew immediately that I have scoliosis. They took x-rays which confirmed. Crazy that no one else in 18 years ralized it. That was about 13 years ago. Now I've started seeing drs again and they took new x-rays. My new dr said that based on the radiologist report it's shocking that no one but that one chiropractor saw that something is really wrong. Crazy how something very obvious can so easily be missed.
Bob is quite a trooper. Wishing you all the best and lots of success with speech therapy with your daughter!
“Bob…the tall one.” Adorable. Keep at it guys! You’re making a difference!
Hi Valarie how are you doing?
I'm more motivated than ever to follow this wonderfully helpful channel because of Bob. If he can work with his challenges, I can work with mine, too! You guys make a great team.
Wishing Bob all the best! I enjoy all your helpful videos!
You two have helped me so much over time.
Multiply that by all the people I told about you two.
I won't ever forget your help.
Much love from NYC. xoxo.
Glad we could help!
The doctor told me I have " Claw Foot " never heard of it before, but I think it was caused when someone knocked me over in a bus que one day, and it's got worse and is very painful. I don't know what to do. I've always worn sensible shoes though !
Thanks for letting us know about Bob. Watched for a while and wondered if everything was OK. Glad his mind is still intact.
We don't mind the speech and motion. Just glad to hear his and Brad's thoughts
We got your back, Bob....you, along with Brad, are still the most famous (and favorite) physical therapists on the internet....in our opinion, of course.
Bunions can be caused by a lower back problem.
How does lower back issues cause bunions?
@@dianejones4276 a bad S1 nerve in the back leads to weakness in the outer foot muscles which causes the foot to pronate. This causes the main big toe tendon to become misaligned and the pull of this tendons on the big toe bones causes them to collapse inwards. This funky alignment ultimately causes a bone spur to form, which we call a “bunion”.
@@mimiescape2023 That's a really awesome explanation. 👍 And it makes a lot of sense in my case considering I have Scoliosis and don't wear high heels. Maybe that's why I have a bunion on one foot.
I have been in this vicious cycle since April... your help is so appreciated
Thanks for this, I’ve been suffering for years with foot pain, planter fasciitis, arthritis of the big toe, severe corns on bottom of my feet, I need new feet!!!
Hello Debra how are you doing
Put your leg in fish tank
Or go to beach and soak and relax once a week or twice a month for hours and let me know.
I feel your pain
We love you - keep going Bob!
Thank you, as always, Bob and Brad. Your advice is so helpful and gives plenty to think about and try.
You certainly help to dispel fear and to explain pain in the body and offer such various ways to deal with it.
You have expertise and very importantly, humour and understanding 😃
Thank you both so much and I want to say how glad I am that Bob is on the mend, and is having speech therapy. Absolutely wonderful.
Best wishes both ❤ ♥
Dear Bob - wishing you all the best with speech therapy and health in general.
Bob...you are doing great! I love seeing you and Brad both every day!!
Hi and hello Dear Bob and Brad You save our lives and you make life easier for us God bless you dear Bob and Brad
You guys read my mind, been having foot pain in the mornings and after sitting a while.
Perfect timing! I’ve been in an ankle brace for the past two days and I don’t even know what I did to injure my ankle.
My sister broke her foot walking on the beach. She couldn't figure out what was wrong until she couldn't stand it (literally) any longer and got an x-ray. If you haven't had an x-ray, perhaps you should.
@@DOLfirst Thanks, I’m starting to consider it. It’s so strange. I don’t recall doing anything to it. It just started hurting, so I bought a brace and I’ve been limping for two days so far. So weird 🤷🏽♀️
There are exercises for ankles but sometimes it's caused by other issues. If your lower back is out and it causes problems with your pelvis being misaligned it can affect your gait which can go into your ankles
@@YiskahLeAnn please let us know how things turn out. Hope it feels better soon.
Sounds like plantar fasciitis.... Most times it can't be diagnosed by an x-ray... Will need an MRI to confirm... Try to rest... Wear supportive shoes or insoles...
Thank you had foot pain for last few years ! You got this Bob. We got our famous PTs back. 😀
Good luck Bob! We really appreciate you! Prayers.
I’ve been dealing with Achilles tendinitis for 10 months now. It’s horrible! Nothing my podiatrist has tried has worked (new shoes, shoe inserts, heel lifts, laser treatments, and time in a boot) and he doesn’t seem to feel surgery is an option. Now on top of that, my plantar fasciitis is back in the same foot with the Achilles issue. I also have issues with ingrown toenails. What a pain, literally!
Massage therapy around Achilles up into calf worked wonders for me
All the best to Bob an him daughter! I have lot of tension my soles, pain in in my ankles. Toes are sometimes in pain. Stretching of them helps the pain and tightness. High heel shoes are most of unpleasant shoes because of pain to foots and back. Best, Bob&Brad🌞👍👍
Bob is such a great man. He will surely recover very fast from it. And obviously Brad is just awesome. Both you are my future hero
Always outstanding content and insight
The two of you are just so awesome. Thank you for being you!!
Hello Mary how are you doing today
Brilliant as always, much gratitude to you both.... so fantastic to see Bob back.
Love and support to Bob!
I really enjoy your videos. Now more than ever! Bob, You rock!
Love the massage techniques! Bought that massager. It's amazing !!
I have both of your massage fund. I’ll need to use it on my feet. Thanks, guys!
Omg.
You guys are always hitting the nail on the head. I have that too
I have arthritis in both of my feet. So what can be done for that.
It is in the middle of each foot.
Really enjoy your program.
God bless you.🙏👋👍
Sounds like it's probably something else but I'm not a doctor. Like plantar fasciitis
Bringing hope & cheering us on always 🤗 👍…thanks guys 🥰 🙏!
Thank YOU!
For a year I kept getting the same diagnosis of planter fasciitis
on my right heel pain. It hurt to put weight on it and I started to walk funny trying not to put weight on it. I did the support shoes, the inserts ect.... Then final a pain specialist asked if my previous doctor ever did an epidural on the L5 vertebrae? The L5 nerve runs all the way to the bottom of your right foot about the same spot the pain is for planter fasciitis told him no... we immediately scheduled the day procedure. After that surgery, I stood up and absolutely 100% no pain! Instant relief from having pain for a year. Also
Doing reflexology on the bottom of your feet will sometimes diagnose whare problems are in your body.
Tell me more about your giveaway!
Love your videos and the education you give us. That massaging machine would be so helpful.
Your show is the coolest! Thanks for everything.
Good to see you guys 😊😊
Thankyou guys you are both great in helping people .keep it up
You have all my support Bob. Send you my love, in thoughts, all the way, from Canada !
Zero drop, natural foot shaped shoes have been life changing for me, both at work as an RN and for my work outs!!
Great!
Hello Bob and Brad, I have pain on the top of my right foot that feels like I have a clamp around my foot that won’t let go. It’s very tight and painful. I do my own massage and do foot soaks in epsom salt. Also, I’ve tried using ice packs as well. I saw, a podiatrist, but was not very helpful. Some times it’s more painful than other times. I’m watching your videos for some solutions to this problem. Can you please direct me to the best videos to help me? Thank you.
You guys are awesome. Always were, still are! ✨
Soak the foot in some Epsom salt and warm water might be useful also.
And that feels so good, too!
You read my mind that's what I was just about to do
How much epson salt you put for feet in a small gallon plastic foot
🎉🎉Have been doing this for a week now 🦶😓
Brad, I wish you well. You guys are Great! Thanks.
Thanks!
Please give Bob more time to talk and educate us as well! (despite the ataxia)
It takes time No need to push He feels good I had the same problem which i recovered and i still find not easy talking but that does not bother me İm content as before
Im sure the guys know each other well enough, to work in with each other ..
@@simonrankin9177 yes exactly
Bob I hope you are doing well in your ataxia treatment! 🙃
Here's one for you. Can you help? Six years ago and now yesterday, I get a terrible pain in my left calf and almost crumble to the ground. The doctor (last time) diagnosed it as inflamation. I needed to take lots of ibuprofen for a few days and avoid stairs for two weeks. Suggestions on what I can to avoid this?
I was hoping to hear about Metatarsalgia - ball of foot pain.
I’ve had chronic foot pain in both feet for five years now : fasciitis , arthritis, Erythromelalgia, neuropathy .. debilitating . Tried injections , (twice ) gabapentin , Lyrica , custom orthotics , even casting one foot for three weeks , a boot after , nothing has helped . It’s horrid . Help !!
No diabetes
I have your foot massager cut can’t use on higher settings
Thank you so much !! I probably have number 5 what yiur dad had. I’m a professional Choreographer and figure skater been doing it since I was 4 years old. I’m to the point where I can not go jugging , dancing nor skating anymore. I am pain free but as soon as I try to dance within 3 minutes my feet arches are killing me so I have to sit down and immediately the pain goes away. So now I’m depressed because I can’t teach dance anymore , not skate , go for walks , jug ect…. I can only do floor stretches sadly. I can’t be standing for more than 5 minutes so I use a rolling chair when I cook, wash dishes or clean house. I do not take any medication for that because I know it’s bad for us so I just avoid standing I’m usually in bed most of the time now.
You're doing an Awesome job Bob!!!
Bob&Brad, What about pain above your feet ?? Painful and tightness what causes this?? Along with knee pain?
This I can relate.
Down through the years I feel like I’ve gotten to know your feet well. I don’t regret one minute of it!
😂
I find clinically that plantarfascitis is often a misdiagnosed case of tendinitis of one, any combination, or all of: posterior tibial, long toe flexors, flexor hallucis longus, and/or peroneus longus. Often associated with compensatory overpronation from limited talocrural dorsiflexion.
Thanks for the info!
Caused by our shoes with heels that restrict the full range of ankle motion. Even worse for dress shoes and work boots that we wear all day.
Seems like half the ppl I see are overpronating walkin around like ducks. Sad
Could you please do a video for people with pain in the top of their feet could you do a video on that saying what could it possibly be and how to treat it
I was hoping to hear about heel spurs. I forgot to ask my dr about it but my heels hurt so much when I walk. Like they're bruised from the inside. You're right about us not walking as much when we're in pain. I gained a bunch of weight when I stopped walking. Of course the extra weight makes the feet hurt even worse. It's a vicious cycle.
Tender heel pain can also be plantar fasciitis. Might want to see a podiatrist to figure out which it is. B&B also have a video on plantar fasciitis stretches that could help. I've had to deal with some of that myself and figure out the footwear to accommodate it.
@@Nighthawkinlight Thank you. 😊 I forgot to tell my dr about it the last time I saw her. I'll ask her about it the next time I see her. She probably will send me to a pediatrist.
I need it!
My left foot is hurting, can't bear weight!
Is there a way to cure it or does it go away through muscles in your feet. 🦶
I have a less-common cause of foot-pain while walking: I stepped barefoot on a thistle. Ouch, no mark but the pain lasts days!
Another issue worth considering is Tailor's Bunion, that can effect the little toes and can be very painful. So can corns on the feet.
Yes! That's a very painful condition!
Thanks you guys!
Bone spur problems? Do you have any suggestions for relief?? Ty ahead of time.😌
Right there with you ... bone spurs on both heels. Have found icing feet on big frozen bag of peas for 20 minutes twice a day, and heel pads inserted in my shoes gives some relief. Have also gotten cortisone shots twice ... wears off after a couple of months. The shots hurt like crazy
I’ve been experiencing electric shocks along my ankle and the bottom of the foot. I was hoping that you guys had a way to relieve that.
Did you find out what it was? I have been having pain on the bottom of my feet in a sudden stabbing pain in my ankle
Thanks for sharing. Every day I walk with pain but I keep walking!! And I will change my Diet! Less Sugar and more Plant based High Protein
Much luv from Bradford Family you helped my foot and back and i fill better ✌🙏🖤
Bob and Brad, Hi. Do you ever answer viewer questions?
God bless you two!!
I have pain in my foot making it hard to walk, under my big toe area. I'm not very old but I was homeless at one point. Which is hard on the body. But, I just started getting it. I am a single mom so I have to hope this goes away.
Do you guys have information about Neuroma of the foot, or Morton's Neuroma? I recently had one removed, what a horrible ordeal !! I had never heard of such a thing.
Good video, but what about neuromas???? So many people have this from wrong foot wear, thinning of fat pat as on ages, etc.
Good video, but one suggestion: keep the camera little farhter away so we can see the part of the foot, the main topic here is FOOT PAIN and whatever you kept talking most of the time we could see the exact location of the foot problem you were discussing. I too have cramps in the paw area of the foot when I am at the grocery store where it is a lot f walking isle to isle so end of my shopping is about to complete i get cramps in the toe base. Also recently I am having pain on the upper side of the foot arch almost on the center of the paw. I don't know if my new walking shoes are causing this because I felt such a pain after I started using the new shoes. The brand that I tried this time is "GO WALK" walking shoes. I would appreciate your response that would suggest some solution/remedy.
0:38 - 0:51
Awww oh my!
Never know about ataxia though initially without this part of statement I thought is Mr. Bob unfortunately caught a really bad stroke which might be due to post COVID-19 or so?
Anyway hopefully is reversible so Mr. Bob would feel more confident and pleasure to articulate his thoughts again. And to your comfort that I always hearing very old people talking slurring so it's totally fine, this awkward situation didn't hinder us from getting what Mr. Bob trying to articulate =)
Get well soon
First!!! With foot pain too!
I need that massager I been suffering from for pain for a long time now . Mine came from driving so much for uber .. you can use a frozen bottle roll it from under your foot roll back and forth..
Massager is amazing
I have a Mortons Neroma have had for decades I have alot of spasms today.
❤️❤️Hi Bob and Brad
Great info. Thanks!
Ive been jogging quite a bit and noticed I get a lot of pain in my big toe. Its up a ways and on top. Guessing its the tendon or the bone taking a beating.
Bob, I'm so sorry for your ataxia and other problems. I hope you can figure out a solution and get back to baseline.
There's another cause of foot pain that is rarely diagnosed but quite prevalent - cat scratch disease (bartonellosis). This difficult to diagnose and difficult to treat, often asymptomatic infection is caused by the bacterium bartonella henselae. Its most distinctive symptom is tenderness on the bottom of the feet when first arising, which recedes after a few minutes of walking around. Other less specific symptoms can include arthritis, cognitive issues, mental illness, fatigue, ocular migraines/double vision, a rash that looks something like cat scratches, and many of others.
😮
thank you for your awesome videos stay strong Bob the tall one :)
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Hey guys I have pain on the top of my foot on the side near my arch. I've since switched shoes to give me more support but if I walk a lot at work the pain returns. Any idea what that is or how I could stretch it out so it doesn't hurt as bad???
What brands of shoes have large toe boxes? Closed toe shoes all make my toes sore after a few hours.
1:14 #1
3:49 #2
6:12 #3
7:57 #4
9:35 #5
Thanks, is this how you'd rather have chapters done?
@BobandBrad Not necessarily.
I was just looking for information on the bridge of the foot and felt this would ease future views as to what they may be looking for.
In the 1970’s there was a shoe fad called”Earth Shoes”. They had a negative cant and were wide at the toes. Looked a little funny but were the most comfortable shoes I ever owned. Unfortunately they fell out of style
Xero shoes are like the "Earth Shoes". I want to try them.
You can buy shoes called earth runners. They are very minimal like walking barefoot almost. You can look their website up or on you tube.
The neuropathy in my feet is caused when I wear polyester. My jogging bottoms I wore last winter with painful neuropathy every morning after getting up or at night after taking clothes off. Only discovered it was the polyester joggers because the weather improved and I stopped wearing them (5 pairs). Glad discovered it but its very weird why. Anyone know? Roll on a year. Recently using a knee support on left knee and guess what, made of polyester and in the morning foot pain like neuropathy only in the left foot. So definitely polyester.
I've been dealing with pain on the top outside of my foot for a couple years. It feels like my pinky toe and foot are cramped up constantly and I haven't been able to find relief. It just feels like I have a burning cramp that never goes away. I keep meaning to have it looked at.
Ok that I know what you mean ,go to Dr Joe or Dr berg but you it is to do the heel raised and or the Achilles. So you of rock yourself in those 2 POSITIONS. Then do massage.
Look into hammer toes it could be that
Way about gout in the ankle’s 7:32 🎉?
Cannot see bottom of legs and feet. Yes gout arthritis very painful in bed at nite.
I am so glad I am watching your videos, when you talked in one of your videos about massaging the foot and stretching the toes….it really helps! I was suffering a lot of foot pain and some swelling and my foot was killing me, then I followed what you said and my gosh it worked! My foot stopped hurting and I could walk on it the very next day…I was so amazed. I do like the idea of using a massager thing like you were just showing. Thank you so much!
Stepped out of bed and my my…the shooting pain in the middle of foot…I hoped on one leg to the bathroom…I didn’t wanna deal with it
Bob❤& ❤Brad‼️
Nice video!!!!
I have midfoot arthritis. Every step is painful.Can you please help?
Have you tried rolling a tennis ball or rolling a frozen water bottle back and forth?
I m there and the nhs are useless here - I was depressed and sad. The physio injured my foot as well! This hurts!
Bob, I've developed the same speech difficulties. Ever figure out what the issue is/was?
Now this got me worried about my feet, I can’t walk very much cuz it hurts and am very skinny, which type of doctors I must meet?
My right foot is feeling stiff and only right couple of toes...was walking 3 miles per day and standing a lot shooting pictures for local college..so may have so strain on that side of foot. any other advice? thanks guys..
I was kinda hoping that you would’ve touch base on this one cramping on top of your foot? It’s only happened a few times and lasted a few days, where when you walk it feels like something on top of your foot is stuck or cramping.
Hi 👋 Theresa how are you doing?
I was waiting for mine, pain on top of foot. It hurts!!
Hello 👋 Annie how are you doing?
Along w massage, I found Baretraps "Rebound" sandles literally bounce, massage feet so I can walk really well w "Planter Fasciitis", & can go barefoot some. And stretch the Hip flexor, opposite foot on knee, stretch, first in morning.😇
Would you do another video on sesmoiditis and also Bunions. And are they related? Taping, padding techniques…thanks
Thanks Bob and Brad! I watch you both all the time and tell my friends and even my doctor about your show. I was wondering if you know why my feet hurt after sitting down? As soon as I get up they hurt, more in my ankles. They feel stiff and I walk like a penguin at first. Likewise during the day if I sit for even a couple minutes they become stiff and it hurts to walk until I get them moving again. I don't wear high heels anymore, but I do take alot of steps a day. I jokingly say its rigor mortis kicking in. Any idea's?
I have this exact same problem. Did you find a solution?
